Two of my favorites: https://archiveofourown.org/works/13719147/chapters/31516671 https://archiveofourown.org/works/8425864/chapters/19306879 Basically "what ifs" Young Griff was actually Aegon VI, he was Jon Snow's older brother and two of them met before the War of the Five Kings. Both dead...

So what would be the consequences of, say, replacing Edmure Tully with Matthias Corvinus and/or Roose Bolton with Vlad Tepes?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8425864/chapters/19306879 Probably one of my favorite ASOIAF fics... basically, poor Jon Snow going through multiple lives trying to avert a lot of bad stuff happening to his family. Quite dead, unfortunately.

"Peasant levies" is largely a myth. I wrote about it here: https://fantasycore.home.blog/2020/06/11/army-of-john-hunyadi-and-matthias-corvinus/ https://fantasycore.home.blog/2020/11/01/social-background-of-the-army-organization/...

Look at my edit in which I explain why that makes no sense. I do not want to write the same thing twice.

See my edit. Also, if the institution of Iron Throne had been destroyed, Bran could not have been crowned the King of Westeros.

Bran has no claim at all. It is not about "better claim", but "having a claim". Podrick and Hot Pie have about as much claim to the Iron Throne as Bran does. More, in fact, since they live in what remained of the Seven Kingdoms, whereas Bran is from the North. EDIT: Now that is not to say that...

Even then, there is the issue of Bran being a Northerner... and elected at the same time as North has declared independence. That is like, say, Electors of Holy Roman Empire electing a Prince of Scotland to be new Holy Roman Emperor.

On the flip side though there appears to be no munitions plate, or even general half-plate infantry armour as was common in 15th century. All descriptions of infantry I remember have them using mail or quilted armour.
